Background: The characteristics of level VII lymph nodes were explored and the advantages of using carbon nanoparticles (CNs) in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) surgeries were examined. This was a retrospective study investigating the clinical data of patients with PTC who underwent surgical treatment. Methods: From September 2019 to December 2020, a total of 191 consecutive patients with PTC were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were randomly divided into the CNs group and the control group. CNs were used in the CNs group during the operation. There were 103 cases in the CNs group, including 25 males and 78 females, and 88 cases in the control group, including 21 males and 67 females. Parameters, including the characteristics of dissected lymph nodes in level VII, metastatic rate, postoperative complications, and other inpatient-related indicators, were compared between the two groups. Results: The number of lymph nodes dissected in level VII in the CNs group was significantly greater than that in the control group, and the metastatic rate of black-stained lymph nodes was significantly higher than that of non-black-stained lymph nodes (P
